The exact origin of Yonaguni ori is unknown, however it is mentioned in records dating back to the end of the 15th century. There are four weaving types in Yonaguni: Yonaguni hanaori, Yonaguni dutatī (garment made of 4 pieces of cloth), Yonaguni kaganubū (narrow sash), and Yonaguni shidadī (hand towel). The materials used in the production of those include silk, cotton and ramie, which are colored with local plant dyes.
